Noooooooooooo my kids love this place! We are definitely going next week
Blue Zoo Family 💙
This is one of the hardest posts we’ve ever had to write.
After many difficult conversations and heartfelt consideration, we need to share that Blue Zoo Rogers will be closing at the end of this summer, with our final day expected to be around August 1st.
We are truly heartbroken.
Over the years, this aquarium became so much more than a place to see animals. It became a place where families made memories together. Where toddlers touched stingrays for the very first time. Where kids met mermaids with eyes full of wonder. Where classmates learned about animals hands-on. Where birthday candles were blown out, shark teeth were proudly carried home, and “just one more lap around the aquarium” became part of family traditions.
And all of that happened because of YOU.
To every guest who visited us…
Every Annual Pass Holder…
Every family who spent a rainy afternoon with us…
Every teacher, student, birthday kiddo, homeschool group, and animal lover…
Thank you.
Thank you for supporting us, believing in us, and allowing us to be part of your lives over the years. You helped create something incredibly special here in Rogers.
Please know this decision was not made lightly, and this is not what we wanted. Circumstances changed, and despite every effort, we are no longer able to continue operating this location.
Our team has poured their hearts into this aquarium and into the care of every single animal here. They showed up every day ready to inspire, educate, and create magical moments for your families. We could not be more grateful for them - or for this community.
The good news is that we still have the whole summer together.
Before we say goodbye, we would truly love to see you again and again.
If Blue Zoo Rogers has been part of your story, we hope you’ll visit us this summer.
Whether you visit once more or every week until our final day, we would be honored to spend the summer making memories with you.
We are sad too. Deeply sad.
But more than anything, we are thankful.
Thank you for every laugh, every excited squeal, every family photo, every kind review, and every moment of trust you gave us over the years.
Blue Zoo Rogers may be closing its doors, but the joy, wonder, and connection this community created will stay with us forever.
With love and gratitude,
The Blue Zoo Rogers Team 💙
